Mathew Jacob Riley, May 9, 1996 - April 20, 2013. This is a celebration and remembrance of his life. This is a place where I certainly hope that other mothers will find some hope, some peace. We as a family will never experience life quite the same without our beloved Mathew, but if we can persuade another heart to find hope, than our Mathew will live on forever!

You may not agree with my feelings. If you don't that's too bad. If you know me then you certainly will know that it's not your opinion, sympathy or terrible comments I need, it's your support and your love! If you bring that here then welcome friend!
